Course content
This subject is focused to selected calorimetric and thermoanalytical methods and their advanced applications in inorganic materials science. The kinetic analysis of real experimental data provides a deep insight in complex phenomena and processes in diverse materials. The subject is designed to provide experience with state-of-the art equipment and analytical methods described in recent papers published in high quality scientific journals. Assignment of the individual project focused to kinetic analysis of selected thermoanalytical data. Consultations with mentor are important for interim evaluation. Final evaluation is based on the defense of the individual project and examination. Recently published papers related to the project are recommended.

Learning activities and teaching methods
unspecified
Learning outcomes
This subject is focused to acquisition of practical skills in analysis of kinetic processes in non-crystalline materials, such as glass transormation dynamicsm structural relaxation, nucleation and growth of crystalline phase in amorphous materials and supercooled glass-forming liquids.
Asignment of the individual project focused to kinetic analysis of selected thermoanalytical data. Consultations with mentor are important for interim evaluation. Final evaluation is based on the defence of the individual project and examination.
Prerequisites
